A five-file compliance toolkit that organises the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 into phases of open questions, with the statutory text carried verbatim beside each duty.
Included from the Micro level.
Every toolkit in the level is included; nothing is bought one by one.
The businesses it reaches
The Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth) reaches employers, providers of goods and services, online sellers, operators of clubs and sporting bodies, professional bodies, land owners and agents, and advertisers. The toolkit is a set of five working files that organise this one instrument's obligations into phases of open questions a business answers from its own records. Each file covers a distinct area of conduct, and the statutory text is carried verbatim beside each duty.
The first working file covers discrimination and the grounds and areas it addresses. The second addresses prohibitions, including sexual harassment and related conduct. The third concerns professional bodies and their registration and accreditation functions. The fourth covers land, including dealings in land and accommodation. The fifth addresses advertising and the publication of discriminatory notices.
Sections are served through a connector inside Claude, so nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed. The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised.
